An enchanting blend of canyon charm and thoughtful updates, this 1922 Sierra Madre Canyon cottage offers a serene retreat tucked into the San Gabriel Mountains. A river rocklined driveway leads to a welcoming front porch that wraps around a towering cypress tree, creating a unique treehouse-like perch to enjoy the quiet setting and mountain air. Bathed in natural light, the living and dining room is framed by a wall of French windows that open to leafy canyon views. A cozy office with a built-in desk provides a tranquil space for work or creative pursuits. The kitchen balances vintage character with modern updates, featuring butcher block counters, a gas range, custom coffee cabinet, and ample workspace for cooking and entertaining. Two bedrooms and two baths span two levels, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or a private retreat. The remodeled primary bath is finished with custom tile and a soaking tub. Outdoors, a flagstone patio extends the living space and creates an inviting backdrop for al fresco dining and gatherings. With its seamless indoor-outdoor flow, thoughtful upgrades, and tranquil canyon setting, this home captures the essence of California living. Tucked away in a peaceful location close to Mary's Market, local hiking trails, downtown Sierra Madre, and nearby Pasadena, it offers both retreat and convenience.

Tucked into the canyons of Sierra Madre, this updated home offers the perfect balance of retreat and convenience. Built in 1984 and refreshed in recent years—with a newer roof, remodeled kitchen and primary bath, updated patio doors, and fresh paint inside and out. The two-story layout is both comfortable and practical. The lower level includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry area. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings open up the main living space, where the kitchen, dining, and living room flow together easily. A fireplace anchors the room, and sliding doors lead out to a balcony where you can enjoy fresh air or look up at the stars. The primary suite feels generous, with a walk-in closet and a full ensuite bath. Life here is as much about the setting as the home itself. The canyon is quiet and walkable, with footbridges and the sound of a nearby creek adding to the charm. Local favorites like Mary’s Market, Sierra Madre Playhouse, Baldwin Gallery, and Nano Café are just minutes away, while nearby hiking trails make it easy to enjoy the outdoors. And when you need to get back to the city, the 210 Freeway is just a couple of miles away. Families will also appreciate the highly rated Sierra Madre Elementary and Middle School.
